A construction site at an ashram with raw red-brown earth mounds and rebar stakes in the foreground. Roughly two dozen people in white dhotis and white or light garments walk among the mounds, with several wearing orange or saffron shawls and robes. Behind them are stacked stone blocks, a low brick building with a tin roof, palm trees and dense green trees under hazy morning light. A silver SUV is parked at the left edge. Some people are in the middle distance, and a few are closer, near a green pipe at the lower right.
